- In treating a woman for malignancy in the right breast, the surgeon removes some of her axillary lymph nodes. Following surgery, the patient experiences edema of her right arm. Explain why ?arrow_forwardLymph vessel walls are very thin. Why? a) The thin walls allow the bacteria to flow from the lymph to the blood b) The thin walls prevent bacteria from getting trapped in the lymph c) The thin walls allow the inter-cellular fluid to flow into the capillary vesselsarrow_forwardWhich of the following is the only lymphatic organ to demonstrate AFFERENT lymphatic vessels? Choose from the follliwng: (A) tonsil (B) spleen (C) thymus (D) lymph nodearrow_forward
- 1. ___ , including mast cells, eosinophils, basophils, and ___ , respond to multiple extracellular pathogens, including bacteria and parasitic worms. (a)Agranulocytes; neutrophils (b)Granulocytes; neutrophils (c)Granulocytes; monocytes (d)Agranulocytes; monocytes 2. Which is a mechanism by which type I interferons "interfere" with the production of new viral particles? (A) By inducing production of ribonuclease enzymes that destroy viral RNA. (b) By blocking viral particles from entering a cell. (C) By activating macrophages that destroy viral particles. (D) By stimulating the differentiation of cytotoxic T cellsarrow_forwardThe white blood cell illustrated (mark all that apply) (A) is number three in WBC frequency (B) is phagocytic / or will become phagocytic (C) releases histamine (D) is the precursor cell to a plasma cell (E) is classified as a 'granulocyte'arrow_forwardThis morphologic abnormality of mature granulocytes is most frequently associated with infectious states, burns, malignancies or drug therapy. Question 5 options: A) toxic granulation B) Dohle bodies C) hypersegmentation D) Auer rodsarrow_forward
- Neutrophils are best described as: (a) Phagocytic, have bilobed nucleus and are small (2-5 microns) (b) Respond to chemokines and are primary defense against bacteria (c) Long-lived phagocytic cells. why?arrow_forwardJordan has an enlarged lymph node along the side of his neck,and he is worried that the structure may be a lymphoma. Whatare some criteria to help distinguish between infected lymphnodes and malignant lymph nodes? If the lymph node werecancerous, how would a physician determine if the cancer hasspread to other parts of the body?arrow_forwardThe tributaries of the common iliac vein would be: Rt. And Lt. internal iliac veins Rt. And Lt. external iliac veins Internal and external iliac veins Rt. And Lt. femoral veinsarrow_forward
- Due to the presence of breast cancer, Mrs. Franco had a right radical mastectomy in which her right breast, underlying muscle, and right axillary lymph nodes and vessels were removed. Now she is experiencing severe swelling in her right arm. Why did the surgeon remove lymph tissue as well as the breast? Why is Mrs. Franco’s right arm swollen?arrow_forwardMatch the structures of the lymphatic system to the letters labeled on the image.arrow_forwardIt sometimes is difficult to distinguish the different lymphoid organs from one another in histological sections. How would you tell the thymus from a lymph node? (a) Only the thymus has a cortex and medulla; (b) lymphocytes are far less densely packed in the thymus than in the lymph node; (c) the thymus contains no blood vessels; (d) only the thymus has distinct lobules and thymic corpuscles.arrow_forward
